Story

Scooter is a farm dog and very Border Collie behavior. He does not fit our family due to having an autistic child in the home. He is very energetic and excitable but very friendly. He deserves a home with someone that can spend the time with him and include him in daily life. He is trainable, knows sit, shake, stay, and is treat motivated. He is goofy, silly, and very lovable. Once he's comfortable with his owner he is a good boy, it will take someone who can be the dominant person.

Story

We adopted Odin in March 2022, when he was estimated to be about one year old. Odin is a sweet, affectionate dog who loves being outside, playing with balls, and getting belly rubs. He enjoys companionship and is very loving with people he trusts. When Odin joined our family, we already had a small dog and two cats, and he has always gotten along well with them. He does, however, have some behavioral challenges. Odin can be timid and anxious, especially around unfamiliar people and animals. He struggles with new people entering his space too quickly and may react defensively when overwhelmed, though he is not aggressive by nature. Odin has some resource-guarding tendencies too, mainly with food, which we manage by feeding him in his crate. He can also be possessive of attention around other animals. With the recent addition of a toddler to our home, there have been a few close-call situations, and we feel it is in Odin’s best interest to be rehomed.
